Picnic route Pontjesroute

If you like water, you must have cycled this route once. Explore the banks of the Lek and cross the river with a ferry. This way you can get a breath of fresh air and at the same time you can also take a rest before you leave the ferry to continue your journey. In the cozy center of Schoonhoven you can choose to visit the nice nature museum or to enter the silver museum. There is also a clog shop in Schoonhoven, where you can buy this old Dutch footwear. And to top it off, there are beautiful picnic spots hidden on this route. Unpack your picnic basket at junction 62 or 4, in Streefkerk or Schoonhoven, or when you have crossed the Lek on Lekdijk West. The region is known for the windmills on the Kinderdijk, but a mill that is not inferior to these mill corridors is in Streefkerk. During the route you will pass the mill from 1893, which has the romantic name De Liefde. The mill is also known as'Rotating in Love\\\' and was previously known as'De Hoop\\\'. It is an octagonal tower mill from 1893, which has a wooden substructure. De Liefde was built to replace an octagonal ground sail that went up in flames and was in operation until about 1970.
